HF sells 6' and 8' ramps.

The thing about trailers (in at least CA) you're limited to a lower speed.

Man I just can't drive 55.   :'(



What ?  Says who ?
I had one of the little red Harbor Freight trailers some years back (you a saw it at my old house in Little Mountain Michael) and it pulled great behind my '64 Buick Wildcat going all over the country ... 7000 miles worth ... cruising at 75mph, and it was LOADED.  I had built a box of 2x4's & 1/4" ply  that was 5' tall and crammed that thing absolutely full of stuff.  It pulled absolutely straight the entire time without ever once making the slightest wobble.

I found a photo of my Savage on the 40x48 tailer with the center ramp.  It has the 8 inch tires.....and it was towed at 70 mph no problem.  The smaller trailer needs the center ramp to be long enough to haul the bike - but it is cheaper than the folding trailer and it stores up against the wall really easy.

I do know that the Harbor Freight tires have a sticker.......I betcha that is a liability related thing........or a quality issue.  Good quality 8 inch tires can go 70 all day long as long as you keep the pressure up near the rated psi......low pressure allows the sidewalls to flex and it builds up excess heat.

Thanks for the pictures Dave.

I've been away for a couple of days and see lots of suggestions for me to consider.  I should be able to get something put together in the next week or so.  My trip is June 6th.

Thanks all!  I appreciate it!
